Gas Engineering Expert Witnesses
Start Gas Engineering Expert Search
Gas engineering expert witness candidates are typically licensed professional engineers with expertise and extensive experience in gas pipeline safety, energy strategy, drilling, and/or in the natural gas or petroleum industries.
Gas engineering involves wells, pumps, and drilling, and gas engineers are directly involved with the extraction, processing, and transportation of natural gas or petroleum. Gas engineering specialists are often sought after for cases involving product liability, failure analysis project, environmental issues, intellectual property disputes, catastrophic incidents, natural gas regulatory matters, and assisting investigators with an accident investigation.
Litigation support by a gas engineering expert witness could include arbitration, deposition, an expert report, expert opinion, expert testimony, and courtroom testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request an expert with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek a gas or petroleum engineer for pre-litigation consulting work.
Cahn Litigation Services has been approached by numerous clients to locate expert witnesses, on behalf of either the plaintiff or defendant, that can support gas engineering matters. The chosen expert witness chosen could be actively involved with an industry organization such the American Society of Gas Engineers (ASGS), Natural Gas Council, the US Oil & Gas Association, the American Gas Association (AGA), Society of Petroleum Engineering (SPE), and/or the Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA). Whether the case involves hydraulic fracturing, drilling, fracking, or reservoir engineering, Cahn Litigation has the experience to turn a search for an expert witness search around quickly. The firm has an earned reputation for providing candidates suited to each unique project.
